GEORGE
PUSHEV - FROM SCIENTIST TO ENTREPRENEUR
The Bulgarian Eng. George Pushev,
founder and president of the Toronto-based M&T 2001, specializes in
advanced machinery for, primarily, the automotive industry and its supply
chain, including remanufacturers. In less than 10 years, Pushev has built up a
substantial business in Canada and Bulgaria designing and manufacturing a line
of machinery, of which many are patented by M&T 2001: automatic
armature/rotor polishing machine, automatic shaft straightening machine, the
Automatic Armature Commutator Removal Machine, Automatic armature spot welding
machine, new armature welding technology.
Armed with a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1970,
George Pushev joined the Institute of Metal Science at Bulgaria's Academy of
Science, the largest of its kind in South-East Europe. He embarked on a lengthy
period as a scientist during which he performed pioneering work on plastic-zone
metal deformation processes, applying an ultra-sound method for nondestructive
determination of contact stress. The results of his research work were defined
as unique and his very advanced method allowed the real contact stress level
between two metal surfaces to be measured for the first time, which was
described in his doctoral thesis.
Pushev achieved impressive results as an expert in complex
metallurgy processes. In recognition of his work, Pushev attended scientific
conferences across the world and was awarded a gold medal at the Leipzig Fair
for inventing a machine for measuring contact stress.
Today, based on its technological skills, M&T 2001 is a
supplier to some of the automotive industry's leading players as well as acting
as engineering consultants to Delco (USA), Prestolite Electric (USA and the
UK), Precision Bearing (Malaysia) and many others. The consulting services
include project development related to production, automation, product quality
improvement, product cost reduction, opening of new or reorganization of
existing lines for tear down, rotor and/or armature manufacturing,
impregnation, machining, final assembly, testing and many more. An official
supplier to global companies, including Delco, Bosch, Valeo and others, M&T
2001 has also been granted exclusive distribution and representation rights to
the North American market by many producers of manufacturing equipment,
including automatic and CNC lathes, Jetmag, milling machines, tooling etc.
M&T 2001's steady progress reflects two sides of the founder's
personality: a strong recognition of the employees' skills and contribution -
and a no less strong conviction of the need to protect the global environment
before it is too late. "We're convinced that we can make a difference by designing and
making machines that reduce pollution and save on resources, thus setting an
example for others." As a logical consequence of his views, George Pushev
believes that remanufacturing should be rated one of the world's most important
industries.
